Xorg upstream is indeed focused on solving this via input-hotplug, which we expect to hit Ubuntu in a stable enough form by Hardy+1.
We had evaluated input-hotplug for Hardy, but after spending a good bit of time found it just was not mature enough - it actually made configuring non-default input settings *harder* than doing it in xorg.conf, so opted to stick with the devil we know. A GUI for adjusting settings to something other than defaults is definitely needed, and being discussed upstream with gnome-control-center (see gnomecc mailing list for discussion). Comment 13 is exactly right about the situation with all of this. -- Logitech MX500 mouse forward/back buttons not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42678 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
